Anyone know howto extract a *.dol from a *.wad?
(aka *.dol from 00000001.app)

I've used my best friend google and all the usual tools...
but alas I'm having troubles or I'm just tired and I'm doin something wrong and need a swift kick...

Here's whats goin on....
I'm trying to make an autoboot disc of the HBC w/ out having to have HBC previously installed on the wii...
it boots of the disc... I dumped my wii's filesystem and made a wad and unpacked it....
trying to figure out how to get a dol file outa it... if it's possible...

when you use wadunpacker.exe to unpack a wad, you get a lot more than just the one .app file, which, in my experience, isn't actually the wad file. every time i've had to extract a dol, it's been the 00000002.app file.

my advice to you is to rename them all to .dol files, starting with 00000001.app, and then send them to the homebrew channel via wifi. when the homebrew starts, you know which .app file it is.
